In the twelfth game, continuing to pour it on, she broke Evert s serve and took the set. This was as far as she could go, though. After that, she was, alas, the old Mandlikova. Awed by the prospect of a major victory, she made three errors for every point she played with poise. As the games rushed away from her, she was unable to collect herself and regain her cohesiveness. Evert, of course, had something to do with this. She was very tough in the last two sets, hurrying Mandlikova constantly and moving faster and fast- er herself. In her mind, her defeat by Goolagong at Wimbledon had been partly the result of her failure to prepare properly for the match. Ex- hilarated by her victory over Navra- tilova in the Wimbledon semifinals, she had made the mistake of letting down the nIght before the final and not giving enough hard thought to the match that lay ahead. She had been flat at the start of the final, and it was only after Goolagong had walked away wi th the first set that she was able to shut everything out of her mind except the task at hand. She was determined not to repeat this mistake at Flushing Meadow. On the eve of the final, in- stead of indulging herself with mental reruns of her triumph over Austin she began to map out in diligent detail how she would play Mandlikova and to psych herself up for the match. She was ready for every contingency, and the loss of the first set did not discour- age her. Her victory was her fifth in the United States Championship, the others having come in 1975, 1976, 1977, and 1978. Along with these, she has won four French Championships, three Italian Championships, and two Wimbledon Championships. It is an imposing record. Chris Evert Lloyd may not have the flaming genius of a Suzanne Lenglen, but she has earned for herself a position close to the top among the game's women champions. Except for Lenglen, she has had no equal on clay. T HIS August, for the third year in a row, Björn Borg came to New York after having won the first two of the four championships that make up the Grand Slam-the French and Wimbledon. If he succeeded at Flush- ing Meadow, the international tennis community would be convening en masse in Melbourne this December to see if he could take the last trick in the slam-the Australian Championship -and join the exclusive company of Don Budge, who won the four titles in 1938, and Rod Laver, who won them twice, in 1962 and 1969. There win be no such gathering in Australia, for Borg failed once again to win our championship. As you may remember, in 1978, handicapped by an infected right thumb, he gave Connors no trouble in the final and went down in straight sets. Borg never complains. He attributed his defeat not to his in- jury but to Connors' better play Last year, he was eliminated in the quarter- finals by Roscoe Tanner. A robust left- hander from Lookout Mountain, T en- nessee, Tanner has the fastest serve in tennis today. When he is on, it takes extraordinary reflexes to get your rac- quet on the ball in the daytime, and Borg had the misfortune to play Tan- ner at night, under the lights. He was beaten in four sets. This year, shortly after his victory over McEnroe at Wimbledon, Borg married his long- time fiancée, Mariana Simionescu, who comes from Rumania and used to play on the women's professional circuit. They spent their honeymoon at Borg's retreat on an island in the Baltic Sea, and then Borg began his preparations for the U.S. Championship, which he had not won in eight attempts. The surfaces on which he is at his best are clay and grass. DecoTurf II, the sur- face at Flushing Meadow, doesn't suit him. It is an asphaltic surface, and a player cannot slide into his shots on it, as Borg likes to do. As a matter of fact, Borg, who is ordinarily swift and agile, looks awkward and timorous on Deco- Turf II. He has never said so, but he obviously doesn't feel at home moving around on it. In one other respect, it is not a good surface for him: the ball bounces high off it-higher than is comfortable for Borg when he plays his heavy top-spin drives, which are his bread-and-butter shots. In the summer of 1979, the better to adjust to the courts at Flushing Meadow, he entered the Canadian Championship, which is held in Toronto two weeks before our championship and is also played on DecoTurf II. This year, he set up the same schedule for himself. Just before the start of the Canadian Champion- ship, he did some jogging on an asphal- tic court in order to get his legs and feet accustomed to the surface This might seem a sensible move, but it
